About My Clients
Complex or relational trauma can show up as overwhelming emotions, depression, anxiety, or problems building or keeping relationships. It can also show up as symptoms of post traumatic stress or PTSD. Whether you need help navigating current stress, or processing and resolving problems rooted in past experiences, we can work together to build skills to manage emotions in the present while uncovering glimmers of hope to move forward through darkness toward healing.
My Background and Approach
Research supports that strong rapport and safe emotional connection are the richest soil for emotional healing. By bringing radical genuineness and, when appropriate, a sense of humor to the serious task of healing, I allow and encourage clients to embrace their authentic selves. We will collaborate to create an individualized healing that acknowledges and honors cultural and societal influences. I have extensive training in trauma-informed, time-tested, and evidenced-based methods to help you uncover more balance and peace in body, mind, and spirit, and relationship with others, including Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and other Somatic and Emotion Focused modalities, Relational, Attachment, Expressive Arts and Gottman Method Couples Therapy
